What Is a Full & Final Settlement?
A Full & Final settlement is the last financial transaction between an employer and a departing employee. It accounts for everything the employee has earned but not yet received, minus anything they owe. In India, F&F settlements are governed by labor law and must include specific components depending on the reason for separation, the employee’s tenure, and their salary structure.How to Access Settlement Approvals
1
Open the Settlement for an Employee
A settlement is tied to a specific offboarded employee. The simplest way to open it is from the employee’s detail page: on the Documents tab of a terminated employee, click View Settlement. This opens the Settlement Approvals page for that engagement (the URL carries an
engagementId).If you open the page without an employee selected, it shows an empty state that reads “Full & Final settlements will appear here when employees are offboarded.” There is no master list of all settlements; you open them one employee at a time.2
